I'm 11 months out with my sleeve and have now caught the flu. I have started taking zofran and the vomiting has stop but the bathroom is the main problem for me. Really starting to worry about dehydration because anything in my stomach is making me sick. I'm only on fluids at this time, was wondering if anything I should be drinking to help stay hydrated. Thank you

Yeah, be careful to avoid dehydration. I got the flu at six months out, so between nausea, the whisltlin' sh **s, and puking, I got wiped out fast. i passed out in the bathroom twice, hitting my head on the tub twice - spent a night in the hospital with a CT scan of my head and overnight IVs.

There was a guy on the forum a couple of years ago who got sick and passed out. He hit his face on the coffee table and broke his jaw. Take care.

I have heard that pedialyte may help, but definitely call your doctor for advise.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
